Clearly deserves a 6 and deserves to do well in the competition! Your nice macro is well composed, sharp and has good exposure! Well done!

This is so beautiful! I love the pale orange tones in this rose, this is well photographed with good focus and allows a clear view of the folds of this Rose and the wonderful center. Nice full frame composition. Very well presented .
